I like this one cuz you can see my sick seats out of a shelby series 1!
forgive the 07 for bein dirty, i drove it with a buddy of mine to burleson texas to check out a skittle (srt4) for him and whe ni got home it was just too nice to NOT take pictures, dirty or not!
haha a few buddies of mine have STis and rexes, and they aint nothin to **** with, im down to run it anytime, but not for money unless i know what kinda ****in turbo that is. and the emblem says "Horn Williams Dallas" where my 65 was bought in 1965 (i still live in dallas and its a pretty rare emblem and i love)

Ford needs to get their head out of their asses and come out with an all wheel drive turbo car to compete. They are just handing the 18-24 market over to the Japanese companies. Not even trying.
This is just the evolution of the auto world. Imagine yourself @ 20 y.o and the old hot rodders in T-buckets 40 fords and pre WW2 cars not liking your lil pony car much. Its just a lil beer can Falcon you tried to rod out. Now 20 years later my same car is a classic. It happens to us all just the way things are. Next big kick in the nuts is when your kids will laugh @ the music you like now! lol

YES, coming from a 27 year old, YES, the STi's, EVO's, Skylines, GTRs, Silvias, etc...will be classics one day, these our the hot rods of my generation, the mustangs are the hot rods of your generation, if you think about it, it makes sense,...these cars ARE BAD ASS for the $, there are AWD 4 cyl, i repeat 4cyl cars running around with over 500ponies at the wheels,...daily driven,..these cars can not be beat for the money!

Coming from a 22 year old, i hope this does not come true. So what is "my generation?" I would take a domestic any day over an import. If you took the same amount of money to make a 4 cyl have 500hp and put that money in in an 8 cylinder, you would have way more than 500 hp. There is no replacement for displacement as the old saying goes. I really don't want to debate imports vs. domestic though, its just that the thought had never occured to me that all the ricer crap could be considered classics some day. Now imports can be done tasteful, your car is a prime example and i am sure it is very quick. I don't consider your car rice either but its still not for me. Anything can be made fast.
When i think classics i don't think of any imports. I like how classics so far are american cars and i hope it stays that way. Only time will tell.
Sorry to cause this thread to become sidetracked.
Edit: looked up what classic means at dictionary.com and this is what is says, "of or pertaining to automobiles distinguished by elegant styling, outstanding engineering, and fine workmanship that were built between about 1925 and 1948." I guess that means mustangs aren't really classics? I guess that also means i won't have to worry about imports becoming classics either.

i told my friend about the fuk jdm stickers and of course he was irritated cause the shocker sticker was started by importers. so i guess its kinda contradictful having both those stickers....lol
